I had been using Pond’s Flawless White Lotion for as long as I remember. I never even thought of changing it because it showed great results. But for some reason, it’s now not available and I decided to try out Pond’s Gold Radiance Youthful Glow Day Cream.

This is a light moisturizer that has gold flecks. The moisturizer keeps the skin well moisturized and gold flecks make the skin glow. My experience with this cream..

Texture – It has a light creamy texture and you need about 3 pumps for face and neck.

Moisturizing – I started using this since last month and found this moisturizer to be light, not greasy and hydrating on my dry combination skin. This will be suitable for any skin type. I use this after my Biotique Serum every morning. The lotion gets instantly absorbed and my skin stays smooth the whole day.

Packaging – Thiscomesin a sturdy bottle with a pump and a transparent cap. Very hygienic but you can never tell how much you are left with.

Gold Flecks – The day cream contains gold flecks which the co. claims is real gold. Real gold or not, it adds shine and light reflecting effect to skin. Not disco ball shine, but subtle golden glow, that looks especially good in winters. I’m really not sure how good will it look in summers.

Sun Protection – This contains SPF 15 and PA++ which is protection against UVA rays and wrinkles. Yaiee for that. I am happy about the fact that this has sunscreen since the Pond’s Flawless White Lotion didn’t and I can be extremely lazy with sunscreen.

Effectiveness – It claims of bringing out a youthful radiance and lifting away skin’s dullness. Now, I have pretty clear skin with some dry and dark under eyes and prominent pores on cheeks. I have been using it for more than a month and my skin tone without a doubt looks brighter and more even. And the results were obvious in the first 10 days. Just like Ponds Flawless White lotion, I am very happy with its results.

Price – I got the day cream for Rs. 750 for 50 ml bottle that has lasted me about 5 – 6 weeks of daily use.

I would recommend everyone to give this a try if you are facing with issues like sun tan, uneven or dull skin tone, but don’t think it has any anti ageing or wrinkles reducing effect.
